my daughter 10, always rubs her hand around her privates is this ok for her to do and if so why?

Answer 1

I think you're actually the 10 year old with the questions you ask

Answer 2

Yes, sexual curiosity and and exploration of your body is normal at any age, as long as it's done privately. I was masturbating at age seven or eight--my parents didn't like it, but I did it anyway, because it was natural. The problem is that we as a society are so uptight in sexual matters that we can't recognize that we're just like every other animal, with instincts bred into us over thousands of years of evolution. So look at it this way: At least your daughter is still in that innocent stage of development, where she's only getting to know her own body, and not branching out to connect with others. It may be time for a father-daughter talk, to help her understand what she's doing, but to try to stop her will only be harmful to her.

Answer 3

NO !!!!!!!!!! THIS IS NOT OKAY She is BEING MOLESTED. Masturbation is normal but not ALWAYS and is in private. Find out what the other signs of molestation are and see if she fits the profile. NO she will most likely not tell you because of threats, guilt or embarrassment. She may even be told that it is normal. THERE is also the chance she thinks you will not believe her because of who the person is. Or she may think that you love the other person more. There is no telling what she thinks for sure but these are some of the reasons I have been told in talking to Friends and from personal experience.

Answer 4

Plenty of children go through a sexual stage between 3 and 5. She might have started masturbating then. Unlike what many people think, it is NOT a sign that she is being molested. And usually people who masturbate are more likely to know what will give them pleasure when they do decide to have sex. Her only problem is that she's doing this in public. You need to explain to her that actions that pertain to private spaces are for private times and private places.

Answer 5

Well I guess it isn't alright in public, but it seems alright if in private. I mean, mothers will always say when they change their baby, his hand almost always goes directly to his private part. The baby is just seeing what makes him/her feel good. So this really is no diffrent. But if it is being done in public and stuff by your daughter, you just might wanna have a talk with her. Hope I could help, GOOD LUCK!

Answer 6

She should not be doing that in public. If you see her doing it, tell her that it is not polite to touch your "girl parts" in public.

If you think she might be itchy because she doesn't clean herself thoroughly, address that problem before she ends up with an infection or something (or at a minimum is just walking around smelling funny).

It is perfectly natural for a girl to touch herself, but she needs you to explain to her that this is something that is to be done in private. Then respect her privacy by not walking into her room when the door is closed.

Answer 7

No, because she may have a problem with masturbating in the future. Some believe that it is okay , but I believe that is is a terrible habit to have, when she gets older and wants to have a intimate relationship with a man she will find it very difficult to find someone to please her. She has been so used to pleasing herself that no one can feel the void. She will end up being sexually frustrated .

Answer 8

Now in what way is she doing it?! Like is she going inside herself!? If so I think u should sit down with her and ask her way.Maybe she has something worng with her.. And she is too young to tell..So ask her why she does it..Your only being a mom..Its soemthign ur going to HAVE to do...
She could also just be going through a stage where they just tend to do that..it might not be ne thing big..

So just talk to her about it

Answer 9

i think it's time for "the talk" or at least ask her why she does it. i remember i started masterbating at a young age, like 11 or 12 and i turned out fine. if thats what she's doing tell her to do it in private or in the bathtub

Answer 10

yes that is pretty normal for that age. but that doesn't mean that it is right. if she doesn't know what masturbating is i would sit down with her, even though she will probably be embarrassed, and tell her that this kind of thing might feel good but it is unacceptable and not what God wants. the Lord is watching her all the time and is that really what she wants God to see her doing.
